Early life
Zach Choi was born on 27th August 1986 in Seoul, South Korea. This means that Zach Choi's age as of September 2021 is 35 years old. His parents gave him up for adoption at a very young age. He was adopted by a loving family consisting of an American father and a South Korean mother. His adoptive father is a businessman and used to be a singer, while his mother was a model.
The 34-year-old YouTuber and his family lived in the USA, raised in Baltimore, Maryland. Eager to be independent, he moved to Los Angeles, California, to try out new ideas. It is while there that he became a YouTube sensation but not after having to work hard. There is no information as to whether Zach has any siblings.
Career

When Zach moved to Los Angeles, California, he had to work as a waiter to support himself. He then moved online with his first website, 'NativetoNowhere’. He used to post fashion commentaries on the styles he encountered in LA.
Unfortunately, this website is no longer active after he abandoned it to try other ideas. Zach Choi's Instagram account is not as busy as YouTube, but he still boasts more than 883,000 followers.
On 5th July 2014, Zach set his eyes on ASMR/Mukbang uploads, and so he created his YouTube channel, Zach Choi ASMR. The channel currently has over 12.8 million subscribers.
The channel is dedicated to ASMR and Mukbang content, but the uniqueness with his content is that he never speaks in his videos. Some people speculate that Zach Choi's voice is absent from his videos because he is insecure about hearing it.
His breakthrough video was the ‘ASMR EATING DUCK FAT FRENCH FRIES (NO TALKING)’. The video garnered more than 1.4 million views. In addition, he has posted several other YouTube videos, including collaborations with other popular YouTubers such as the ‘MOST POPULAR FOOD FOR ASMR WITH STEPHANIE SOO (HONEYCOMB, ALOE VERA, TANGHULU, MACARONS)’.
The challenge with being a YouTube star is that one must be ready for trolls and beef. In Choi’s case, it was unbelievable that he could be in an argument because he does not utter a word in his videos.
In 2019, he found himself involved in a scuffle between Stephanie Soo and Nikocado Avocado. It all started when the three collaborated in a video, and Nikocado requested Stephanie to share information about another video, but she accused Nikocado of manipulating her.
Since Choi does not speak on his video, he stayed out of the matter but later addressed it through Twitter.
Is Zach Choi married?
There is no information anywhere to suggest that he is married or even dating. He has also not shared anything about his previous relationships.
Net worth and salary
The fortunes of YouTube stars continue to increase daily as they post new content and get more views. Primarily, they are paid based on the number of views, but they also make money by endorsing products and through fan donations. According to Dreshare, Zach Choi's net worth as of 2021 is $450,000.
When it comes to his salary, it is difficult to have the exact figure because it is dependent on several factors. According to the Influence Marketing Hub, for every $100 an advertiser pays, Google will pay $68 to a YouTuber. The rates per ad view range from $0.10 to $0.30. For 1,000 ad views, a YouTuber receives about $18.
Latest updates
The YouTube content creator shared an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response video clip on his YouTube channel in the latest news. The video, ASMR FRIED CHICKEN & SPICY SEAFOOD SOUP MUKBANG 먹방 | COOKING & EATING SOUNDS, was uploaded on 2nd July 2021. So far, it has garnered over 2.8 million views.
In addition, if you are an avid follower and fan of Zach’s online life, you may have noticed that he looks a little different than he used to. This is because he has undergone a few surgical procedures on his face. He’s had double eyelid surgery as well as a nose job.
